Re: Stephen Hills 10 Yard Split?!?!?!

When I started the hill thread that was the reason why. Combine that speed with his already excellent run blocking and you have a solid base of potential for him to build on. I know he has concentration issues, and doesn't know the complete route tree but he has the most potential of any wr in this draft. I think BC of his ability to get deep and run block he could play right away and continue to learn on the job. His best fit would be too a team like us were he wouldn't be expected to come in and be the saviour right away, he could grow into one of the best receivers in the NFL.

I have to admit it would be quite scary seeing Nicks on the outside drawing safety help over the top, Hill taking the top off the coverage on the other side with his pure speed alone, then having Cruz wreak havoc in the slot, all while Bennett is running free up the seam lol. How can you stop that??

I honestly think that he would be an upgrade over Manningham almost instantly. He's much faster, a much bigger target, and seems to attack the ball while manningham would routinely wait for it to come to him.

Re: Stephen Hills 10 Yard Split?!?!?!

I'm like a leg away from being on this kids bandwagon. He probably isn't savvy enough for the slot just yet with all of the route concepts that our offense requires knowledge of, but he could have a spot at the Z receiver. Hopefully Gilbride wouldn't throw too much at him too early into his career.

But depending on this kids development, he could develop as a top X receiver because of his size (little lanky though), and physicality. Either way, we will have some more leverage when it comes to Nicks and Cruz contracts.
